  Magical Negroes, Eclipses, and the Collapse of Zionism Trying to keep it real DONALD JEFFRIES Last week, we had a total eclipse of the sun. For some reason, human beings always get excited about an event they’ve probably experienced at least a handful of times in their life. But then again, people at least in my neck of the woods, still become spellbound when the snow starts to fall. Maybe it’s a form of childish innocence. Here in the D.C. swamp suburbs, nothing much happened on the day of the eclipse. Well, actually nothing at all happened. It didn’t really even get overcast. My extremely sensitive and high strung golden retriever Riley didn’t seem to sense anything out of the ordinary. We took one of our countless walks outside during the eclipse, and she wasn’t distracted from sniffing various spots of ground, rolling playfully in the grass, or acting as if every person walking, most of them with their own dog in tow, was holding a big check from Publisher’s Clearing House.

For example, our cognitive failings are presupposed to lead us to think that the public is being unwittingly manipulated as part of some government masterplan. But, on the other hand, it is open knowledge that psychologists have been responsible for developing techniques of behavioural science that have been extensively used by governments to surreptitiously manipulate public opinion. They even have a

  Laken Riley, Open Borders, and the Epstein List The enigma of phantom updates DONALD JEFFRIES One reason why my books on hidden history have proven popular is because I discuss forgotten incidents and people. Mining those memory holes produces some significant gems. What’s frustrating is the inability to find updates on important stories. It’s as if the stories themselves have been slain, left forever frozen in time. In a December 8, 1954 television interview with Longines Chronoscope, which is still available on YouTube, Admiral Richard Byrd spoke of “an area as big as the United States, that’s never been seen by human beings. And that’s beyond the pole, on the other side of the South Pole….And I think it’s quite astonishing that there should be an area as big as that unexplored.” Those questioning him on this early panel show, set the template for our modern “journalists,” by quickly changing the subject. None of these representatives of a supposed “free press” found that statement
